E927 Carbanide

What is Carbanide (E927)?

E927, known as carbanide, is primarily used in the food industry as a flour treatment agent to improve dough elasticity and make baking more efficient. It helps enhance the structural integrity of baked goods, leading to better volume and texture.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Intolerance to carbanide may stem from the body's inability to process synthetic chemicals effectively. Consuming foods with this additive could lead to gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, nausea, or cramps. Some individuals may also experience allergic reactions or sensitivity to chemically treated flour.

What can I do about it?

To manage intolerance, focus on consuming baked goods made with untreated flour or those labeled as free from synthetic additives like carbanide. Baking at home with organic or untreated flour can help ensure that you're avoiding this additive.
